How to raise and kill hype in one headline.

So, long story short is that it took them 4 games to start getting it right?
Snark aside, I only tried Men of Medan and it was....quite bad. How are the other 2? Think people said that House of Ashes was fine-ish?!

The map seems quite empty, kinda reminds me of FF15

@Flaming_Kaiser Easy there sailor, I'm posting in a Playstation centric site, who said I was hating?
This is most likely the side-effect of being aquired by Sony. Bungie now has monetary security to have bigger and better servers, this will help them with keep larger game worlds/maps etc. It could've also helped with the change to the engine (which I don't believe it was the reason or else we would've gotten smaller game files on the game already).

Surge 2 was a really good game. I'm excited to see more of this one.

I love how "no one ever watches the show", but they keep beating their records of viewers

Great, I know a guy who would play a great Deacon...

I loved the first one, so I cannot wait for "The Rats of Us Part II: Ratapalooza". Saw the trailer for the gameplay yesterday and it looks like quite the improvement over the first one.

Gary should just work on improving the horsedung that is Forspoken's dialogue and stop spreading these rumors.

So it is basically what it seems from the trailers, a cheaper version of Persona.
I'll be waiting for a discount for this one.

Nop, not happening.

God, I want a MH6 teaser.

If you like CRPGS don't sleep on this game, it is AMAZING. Quite an improvement over the first one. I sunk 190h doing absolutely every quest and going through any cranny on my PC.
Also it has a stellar soundtrack, please listen to this theme:

Don't know if I can share links here, but if it gets removed by any of the PS guys, please let me know so that I may share the title of the theme.

At least the gameplay still looks stellar, but yeah the dialogue's been bad since the first trailer.
Now, thanks to Sacred Symbols, every time I see a trailer for this game I hear Chris going "Did I just mooove that with my freakin' miiiiind?!"

Still baffles me that they put a card system into the game instead of just the skills that you unlock. Are they trying to sell card packs for real money?

@denpanosekai that's pretty awesome, still remember being floored when Hanezeve Caradhina starts playing at the start of the series

They're clearly teasing an Iron Maiden game.

I wonder if they're removing the card system.

I've been hearing/reading that "Relink is now "at the peak of development"." since 2018.

If you're on the fence with Yakuza 7 due to being the...well....7th entry in the series, please take the dive. Not only it has a new cast and story (even though they'll mention some prior events) it is balls to the wall zany and fun. It is also one of the best JRPGS you can play on the PS4/5.

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here waiting for that Black Myth Wukong game....

for some reason I saw the trailer and thought "Twitter: The Game"

@Northern_munkey It's available on Steam though, so maybe it will be added to the store later today. Costs 20.99€.

@themightyant Oh yes, I see it as a positive as well. If it's not going the direction they want, just nip it, but I'm terribly curious, I mean they outright sacked 2 of the top creatives on the team.

Can you just imagine how bad that demo had to be?!

For me it is the best Final Fantasy game and it's one of my top 5 games, I love it.

"Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2", god I hate that name.

Was this ever active? At least in Portugal, Playstation has one of the worst costumer support I've ever seen.

1 - Get this tomorrow
2 - Play Stray
3 - ?????

They look pretty good.
She also did some yokai inspired ones last year I believe, or two years ago that looked awesome.

@Bagwag82 CRPG is a term used to describe "Computer RPGs", it is mainly used for isometric rpgs made to look like the old Infinity engine RPGS (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Torment).

This is an excelent game and has an epic OST. Please check the Mythic Power track, played by the Baltic Symphony Orchestra and you'll see what I mean. Absolute banger.

@PoeticJustice Right on the nose mate, I agree with all the fields you posted. The games are too big and the story feels bloated and unfocused, Valhalla is the worst of them on that front.
Also, not using one character, while it still being a character kinda robs the narrative of it's focus (in my opinion). I prefer that they just give us an established character.

Regarding the setting, I would actually like to have one in Lisboa, we could go back to proper assassins vs templars, and even though Rogue starts there, it was far too short of a segment.

"Was the classic 1993 film Robin Hood: Men in Tights as awesome as we remember?" - 100%

The game is pretty but I wouldn't pay more than 5€ to play it. It's extremly short and doesn't have much content.

@Gloamin FF16 is scheduled for Summer 2023

Makes complete sense. It was sandwiched between TLOU remake and GoW. I don't mind waiting 2 more months.

@LiamCroft That sounds like something who's at the top of the cult hierarchy would say.

The trailer looks quite interesting. I think I'll take a gander on this one when it drops to a price more to my liking.

Game seems fine but the character designs creep me out so much

Not feeling the art style. Would prefer that they used something more akin to Curse of Monkey island.

Don't really care. it's a JRPG so Japanese it is for me. Good that people that like dubs will enjoy this I guess, at least it won't sound like a bunch of constipated dudes speaking which is usually what happens when they dub rpgs, never understood why.

Trailer seems alright, about as janky as Fatal Frame. Liked the djent soundtrack

I love the Souls games, and souls-likes (if done well), but please leave that style of combat outside of established and loved series (and this is from a non-fan of Ys).
Seems like everyone is chasing the high, especially after Elden Ring.

Yeah..nah....
I'll stick with the original cast, thanks. Glad this is there for whomever likes it.

Is this limited? Thought this would be the standard collector's edition and whatnot

@get2sammyb He's already working in pre-production for part 3.
Also, what a pleasant surprise, didn't think they would show this.

There's only 10 minutes in tomorrow's presentation.
They're going to annouce a Crisis Core remaster that has barely been touched and costs 40€ and that's it.

These teasers for teases starts to get annoying. Capcom did the same with Dragon's Dogma.

Another hide and seek horror game.....(sigh)

The fact that they had to tweet this is simply stupid.
Worse, I think it's stoopid.
